Yes. They're totally corrupt and a disaster and should be abolished.

As if they actually follow the "rules". Politicians don't give a shit about "rules". Just look at Hillary and her private email server.

So you believe every ad by every SuperPAC which supported Ted Cruz was personally vetted by Ted Cruz himself?

I'm not sure you are able to win an argument against anyone.

That would be a risk for the party even in Texas. Cruz is the definition of an "accidental Senator" in that he was a huge underdog in 2012, and if the party tried to organize a challenge against him they could end up stuck with another Cruz-like candidate in literally the exact same way that they got stuck with Cruz, or worse accidentally lose the seat to the Democrats by getting stuck with a wingnut that they'd have to abandon in the GE.

Cruz only won the seat because he and 7 other candidates held the frontrunner, Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst, under 50% in the first round, and then when he and Dewhurst advanced to the runoff Cruz was able to poach enough votes from him and the people who didn't advance to win. If the party tried to primary Cruz then they could get stuck with an alternative who could win the nomination exactly like Cruz did, and the person could end up being as or even more flawed as Cruz is.

I doubt the national Republicans have to support electioneering in Texas.

If you have a user blocker add EA7 to it. He might as well just post "Build the wall, Trump2016, Make America Great Again!" because that's how much substance his posts have.

I have the post blocker but currently no one has annoyed me enough to be added. Stay tuned.

Challenge accepted.
